Summary: One of Judy Blume's Best Book
Review: I've read many of Judy Blume's books before, and I found them very interesting. It's not like adventurous or horror or mystery, but it always tell the problem of teenagers and it's often very touching. This book tells us about how a girl cope with the divorce of her parents. It's really hard and she had been trying to get them back together. But unfortunately her ideas didn't work. I recommend this book especially to teenagers like me.

Summary: Karen's Parents Divorce
Review: It's not the end of the world by Judy Blume is about this girl named Karen whose parents are getting divorced. The reason their parent's are getting the divorce is because Karen's parents always fought and cause they didn't love each other anymore. But they both still loved there children. She doesn't want her parents to get the divorce, so she tries to stop them from getting the divorce. She tries all different things to stop it. She met a new friend whose parents got a divorced already and she tries to tell her that there is nothing to do but she doesn't believe her. Also the grandpa didn't want them to get the divorce because no one in the family has got a divorce. Doe the parent's get the divorce or do they stay together? Also does her friend tell her the truth that there is nothing you can do? What do you think? Well if you want to know if she stopped the divorce read the book to find out. I also think people who like books by Judy Blume would like this book. If you read the book called Are you there god? It's Me Margaret; you would like this because it is just like it. Also if your parents are getting a divorce you would like it because it will tell you there isn't much you can do about it. So I think that you should really read this book. It is a great book to read and it catches your attention. You would not be able to put it down. I know this because when I read it and I couldn't put it down because it was such a good book. I know you would like it, so read it for a school project or just for the fun of it.

Summary: True, it's not the end of the world
Review: Judy Blume's IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD is told through the eyes of eleven year-old Karen Newman. She is a younger and older sister, a daughter to two quarreling parents, and a best friend to her pal Debbie. Karen journals each and every day of her life. Alas, it's been awhile since she had the ideal day, an A+ day. That A+ day, everyone was happy. No fighting or arguing between Mr. and Mrs. Newman took place. It was a snow day and even after Karen walked through the front door, drenched, Mrs. Newman wasn't at all angry.

The arguing between Mr. and Mrs. Newman started with the little things. And then it got worse. Dinners grew awkward and Karen feared the worst. Still, when Mr. Newman leaves home, she's sure he'll come back. Won't he? Not according to Karen's brother, Jeff. He says that their dad's gone for good. But Karen is still in denial, especially after her grandfather, her father's father, implies there's a chance of the two reconciling. This just does more to get Karen's hopes up. And when she sees her father's apartment and meets Valerie, a neighbor, she sees that maybe her father does have a new life. Maybe he is starting over. And it's going to be without her mother.

Valerie and Karen become fast friends. Valerie seems to know anything and everything regarding the topic of divorce. She too sides with Jeff, saying that there's no way her parents are getting back together. Still, despite the fact her gorgeous mother is dating a very rich man, Valerie seems unfazed by her parents' split. Hanging with Valerie is a nice change from hanging out with Debbie. World has traveled around the neighborhood about the Newman family split, and Debbie certainly isn't much help in the matter!

Blume's middle grader novel talks of divorce and how it affects a typical suburban family. Despite the fact that Karen is indeed the narrator, we also see how the divorce is hurting Jeff, who at one point, seemed unmoved. Like in all of other Blume books, the characters and situations are real and true-to-life. I especially liked Karen as a person and saw how she went through different stages throughout the book: the sadness of two quarreling and arguing parents, denial when the divorce was announced, and, at last, she begins to face the unfortunate reality she knows she must. This book is one of my fave by Blume and because my parents recently divorced, I took IT'S NOT THE... off my shelf and lent it to my sister, hoping it would maybe help her deal. The fact is, divorce is on the rise and this book is an ideal read for those children who must be forced to face it, like it or not. Just because divorce rates were lower in the 70s doesn't mean this book will have a different effect.

They are never satisfied with eachother and really don't get along anymore! But karen always try to get them to get back together, and tries her best. It was really hard for her to keep on seeingnher parents unhappy, or depress.It is also very hard for her because she's always moving around. These days she stays wit her dad, the other days she stays with her mom. She really hates moving around, all she wanted is to be in one place living with both of her parents. One wednesday when she was at her dad's, she met a friend name Val, and her parents are the same. Then Val introduced her to a book about divorce, and she read it. It was still alot hard for her. But she finally learned that life is not alwayz what she wants. She actually got used to her parents divorce. I think that this book is very touching. i Feel the same and i understand how she feels because i went through the same thing. But now i know that it's better for your parents, because they don't fight anymore...and when they're seperated, they get what they want, and live the life happier. I give this book a 5, because it's wooondeerful, and touching. I agree with the author, and she's great

I loved this exicting book every chapter I read got more interesting I couldn't stop reading it and every page I was in Karen's shoes.
